Every operator should know the following requirements before operating the boat.● Before operating the boat, read the own- er’s/operator’s manual, the Operation In- struction card, and all labels on the boat. Also, watch the Basic Orientation Video provided with your boat. These materials should give you an understanding of the boat and its operation.● Neverallowanyonetooperatethisboatun- til they too have read this owner’s/opera- tor’s manual, the Operation Instruction card, and all labels, and, if possible, watched the Basic Orientation Video. Showing them the video may help reinforce the information contained in these materi- als.Limitations on who mayoperate the boat● Yamaharecommendsaminimumoperator age of 16 years old.Adults must supervise use by minors. Know the operator age and training require- ments for your state. A boating safety course is recommended and may be re- quired in your state. You can find local rules by contacting the United States Coast Guard (USCG), the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, or your local Power Squadron.● Thisboatisdesignedtocarrytheoperator, up to 9 passengers, and cargo. Never ex- ceed the maximum load limit or allow more than 10 persons (or 9 persons if the wake- boarder or water-skier is being pulled) to ride in the boat at any time. Weight distribu- tion affects performance. Keep weight in the boat low and evenly distributed from side-to-side and bow-to-stern. Remove any unnecessary cargo and store it on shore.Maximum load (212X):Total weight of cargo, operator, and passengers:952 kg (2100 lb): ballast is empty495 kg (1092 lb): ballast is fullTotal weight of operator and passen- gers:843 kg (1860 lb): ballast is empty386 kg (852 lb): ballast is full Maximum load (except for 212X):Total weight of cargo, operator, and passengers:997 kg (2200 lb)Total weight of operator and passen- gers:843 kg (1860 lb)14]]></page><page Index="23" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Cruising limitations● Scan constantly for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.● Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance from people, objects, and other watercraft.● Do not follow directly behind other water- craft.● Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.● Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to avoid you or un- derstand where you are going.● Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.● Take early action to avoid collisions. Re- member, boats do not have brakes.● Do not pull the remote control levers back to idle when trying to steer away from ob- jects—you need throttle to steer. Always check throttle, shift, and steering controls for proper operation before starting boat.● Operate within your limits and avoid ag- gressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and collision.Safety information● Thisisahigh-performanceboat—notatoy. Sharp turns or jumping wakes or waves can increase the risk of back/spinal injury (pa- ralysis), facial injuries, and broken legs, an- kles, and other bones. Do not jump wakes or waves.● Donotoperatetheboatinroughwater,bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident causing injury or death. Be alert to the possibility of adverse weath- er. Take note of weather forecasts and the prevailing weather conditions before setting out in your boat.● Never operate in water that is less than 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat, otherwise you increase your chance of hitting a submerged object, which could result in injury.● Leave a “float plan” with a responsible per- son on shore. Tell where you plan to go and when you plan to arrive, and provide a de- scription of your boat. Advise this person if your plans change and also when you ar- rive to prevent false alarms. A sample float plan is included on page 189.● Follow navigation rules and state and local laws that apply to your boat.90 cm (3 ft)15]]></page><page Index="24" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationOperational requirements● Theoperatorandallpassengersmustwear a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved per- sonal flotation device (PFD).● Attachtheengineshut-offcord(lanyard)to the PFD and keep it free from the steering wheel or other controls so that the engines stop if the operator accidentally leaves the helm. Failure to attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.After operation, remove the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and the main switch keys to avoid accidental starting or unauthorized use by children or others.1121 PFD● Eye protection is recommended to keep wind, water, and glare from the sun out of your eyes while you operate your boat. Re- straining straps for eyewear are made which are designed to float should your eyewear fall in the water.● Footwear is recommended.● Neveroperatetheboatafterconsumingal-cohol or taking drugs.● Forreasonsofsafetyandpropercareoftheboat, always perform the pre-operation checks listed on page 124 before operating the boat.● Passengersmustalwayssitinadesignated seating area, place feet on the deck, and hold on to the handgrips, handrails, or straps when the boat is in motion.● Alwaysconsultyourdoctoronwhetheritis safe for you to ride in this boat if you are pregnant or in poor health.● Donotattempttomodifythisboat. Modifications to your boat may reduce safe- ty and reliability, and render the boat unsafe or illegal to use.1 Engine shut-off switch2 Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)● Scan constantly for swimmers and stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard to see and you could accidentally hit someone in the water.● Avoidbeinghitbyanotherboat.Youshould always take responsibility to watch for traf- fic; other boaters may not be watching for you. If they do not see you, or you maneu- ver more quickly than other boaters expect, you risk a collision.● Maintain a safe distance from other boats and watercraft, and also watch for ski ropes or fishing lines.

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of con- sciousness and death within a short time. Al- ways operate the boat in an open area.It is also important to have the engines off when anyone is using the ladder on models equipped with one because of the carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases coming from underneath the step.Boat characteristics● Jet thrust turns the boat. Moving the remote control levers completely back to idle or the neutral position produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after moving the remote control levers back to idle, but once the engines slow down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed. Practice turning in an open area without obstructions until you have a good feel for the maneuver.● This Yamaha boat is water-jet propelled. The pumps are directly connected to the engines. This means that the jet thrust will produce some movement whenever the en- gines are running. The boat has a “neutral” position, but since the boat is always pro- ducing thrust while the engines are running, some forward or reverse movement may occur.● Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the boat above trolling speed as it could cause you to lose control, be ejected, or impact the steering wheel or oth- er parts of the boat. This could increase the risk of serious injury. It could also damage the shift mechanisms.● Reversecanbeusedtoslowdownorstop during slow-speed maneuvering, such as when docking. Once the engines are idling, shift to reverse and gradually increase en- gine speed. Make sure that there are no ob- stacles or people behind you before shifting into reverse.18]]></page><page Index="27" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[●●Keepawayfromtheintakegrateswhilethe engines are on.

Se- vere injury or death could result from com- ing in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pumps.Safety informationNight operationWhen using your boat before dawn or after dusk, you must have both bow and anchor lights operating. When at anchor in the dark, the anchor light must be lit.

Know and follow all state and local regulations in effect for the waters in which you will be operating.The following are some important consider- ations for minimizing risks while pulling a wakeboarder or water-skier.● The wakeboarder or water-skier shouldwear an approved PFD, preferably a bright- ly colored one so boat operators can see the person being pulled.● The wakeboarder or water-skier should wear protective clothing. Severe internal in- juries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water or while reboarding. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful wa- ter entry into the rectum or vagina. The per- son being pulled should wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection. Such clothing includes thick, tightly woven, sturdy, and snug-fitting ap- parel such as denim, but does not include spandex or similar fabrics, like those used in bicycle shorts.● A second person should be on board as a spotter to watch the wakeboarder or water- skier; in most states, it is required by law. Let the person being pulled direct the oper- ator’s control of speed and direction with hand signals. Be sure the seat is locked in place (see page 87) before getting under- way.● Whenpreparingtopullthewakeboarderor water-skier, operate the boat at the slowest possible speed until the boat is well away from the person being pulled and slack in the tow-rope is taken up. Make sure that the rope is not looped around anything.After checking that the wakeboarder or wa- ter-skier is ready and that there is no traffic or other obstacles, apply enough throttle to raise the person.● Makesmooth,wideturns.Theboatiscapa- ble of very sharp turns, which could exceed the abilities of the wakeboarder or water- skier. Keep the person being pulled at least 50 m (164 ft), about twice the distance of a standard tow-rope, away from any potential hazard.● Theoperatorsofboatsandotherwatercraft may not be aware that you are pulling a wakeboarder or water-skier. Together with the spotter, pay attention to others around you and cruise at safe speeds.● Be alert to the hazard of the tow-rope han- dle snapping back at the boat when the wakeboarder or water-skier falls or is un- able to get up.See pages 9 and 105 for wakeboard tower use.20]]></page><page Index="29" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Rules of the roadYour Yamaha boat is legally considered a powerboat. Operation of the boat must be in accordance with the rules and regula- tions governing the waterway on which it is used.Just as there are rules that apply when you are driving on streets and highways, there are waterway rules that apply when you are oper- ating your boat. These rules are used interna- tionally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.Several sets of rules prevail according to geo- graphic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in this owner’s/opera- tor’s manual are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or De- partment of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be operating your boat.Steering and sailing rulesWhenever two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of-way; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way is called the “give-way” or “burdened” vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.Stand-on vesselThe vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you main- tain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.Safety informationGive-way vesselThe vessel which does not have the right-of- way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the stand-on vessel. Normally, you should not cross in front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should slow down or change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should al- ways move in such a way that the operator of the other vessel can see what you are doing. The General Prudential Rule regarding the right-of-way is that if a collision appears un- avoidable, neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boats must avoid the collision.In other words, follow the standard rules ex- cept when a collision will occur unless both vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the case, both vessels become give-way vessels. Rules when encountering vesselsThere are three main situations that you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are fol- lowed:Meeting: you are approaching another vessel head-on.Crossing: you are traveling across another vessel’s path.Overtaking: you are passing or being passed by another vessel.21]]></page><page Index="30" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationIn the following illustration, your boat is in the center. You should give the right-of-way to any vessels shown in the white area (you are the give-way vessel). Any vessels in the shad- ed area must yield to you (they are the give- way vessels). Both you and the meeting ves- sel must alter course to avoid each other.CrossingWhen two power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on the starboard (right) side must keep out of the way of the other. If the other vessel is on your starboard (right) side, you must keep out of its way; you are the give-way vessel. If the other vessel is on your port (left) side, remember that you should maintain course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you the right- of-way, as it should.MeetingIf you are meeting another power-driven ves- sel head-on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-of- way. Both of you should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule does not ap- ply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.OvertakingIf you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.22]]></page><page Index="31" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Other special situationsThere are three other rules you should be aware of when operating your boat around other vessels.Narrow channels and bendsWhen navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so. If the operator of a power- driven vessel is preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct the view of other water vessels, the operator should sound a pro- longed blast of four to six seconds on the horn. If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the horn. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still pro- ceed around the bend with caution.Fishing vessel right-of-wayAll vessels fishing with nets, lines, or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fish- ing vessels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other vessels in nar- row channels.Sailing vessel right-of-waySailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:(1) Whenthesailingvesselisovertakingthepower-driven vessel, the power-drivenvessel has the right-of-way.(2) Sailingvesselsshouldkeepclearofanyfishing vessel.(3) In a narrow channel, a sailing vesselshould not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel that can navigate only in such a channel.Reading buoys and other markersThe waters of the United States are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers have an arrangement of shapes, colors, num-Safety informationbers, and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass on when navigat- ing in a particular direction. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the harbor). Red buoys are passed on your starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to your port (left) side. An easy way to remember the meaning of the colors is the phrase “red right returning.” When navigating out of the harbor, your posi- tion with respect to the buoys should be re- versed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard.Many bodies of water used by boaters are en- tirely within the boundaries of a particular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters.23]]></page><page Index="32" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationThis system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or ad- visory information. These markers are white with black letters and orange borders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.Remember, markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local boating authori- ties before riding your boat in unfamiliar waters.24]]></page><page Index="33" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[To get more boating safetyinformationBe informed about boating safety.

So your enjoyment includes a responsibility to treat these other people, and the lands, wa- ters, and wildlife with respect and courtesy. Whenever and wherever you are boating, think of yourself as the guest of those around you. Remember, for example, that the sound of your boat may be music to you, but it could be just noise to others. And the exciting splash of your wake can make waves others won’t enjoy. Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a respectful distance from fishermen, other boats, swimmers, and populated beaches. When travel in areas like these is unavoidable, operate slowly and obey all laws.Remember that pollution can be harmful to the environment. Do not refuel or add oil where a spill could cause damage to nature. Keep your surroundings pleasant for the peo- ple and wildlife that share the waterways: don’t litter!When you go boating responsibly, with re- spect and courtesy for others, you help en- sure that our waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a variety of recreational opportu- nities.The Online Boating Safety Course: http://www.boatus.org/25]]></page><page Index="34" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[DescriptionBoat glossaryTERMBowDeckGive-wayGunwaleHatchHelmHullLanyardPFDPlaningPortStand-onStarboardSternSub-planingTransomTrollingWakeDEFINITIONThe front part of the boat.The “floor” or upper structure which covers the hull.The vessel that must yield the right-of-way when two boats meet.The meeting junction of the deck and hull; the upper edge around the boat.

Failure to attach the cord could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.● Do not attach the cord to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the cord in such a way that it could become entan- gled, preventing it from functioning.● Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur- ing normal operation. Once the engines have stopped, you have no steering con- trol of the boat which could result in an accident. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly from planing speed. This could cause people and ob- jects in the boat to be thrown forward, which could cause injury.The clip on the end of the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) must be attached to the engine shut- off switch for the engines to run. The cord must be attached to a secure place on the op- erator’s PFD. Should the operator fall over- board or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip, stopping the ignition to the both en- gines.

Do not open the throttle more than half. Otherwise, the boat may become unsta- ble, which could result in loss of control and an accident.● Do not shift into reverse while traveling at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat swamping, or damage to the boat could occur.The remote control lever for each engine con- trols both throttle and shifting.

Moving the levers back from the neutral posi- tion shifts into the reverse position, and then as the levers are moved farther, accelerates the engines for more thrust.For cruising, adjust the remote control levers so both engines are running at the same en- gine speed.TIP:Because of the mechanical throttle linkage, the remote control levers may not be exactly even with one another when the engines are running at the same engine speed.This boat uses a direct-drive propulsion sys- tem. Therefore, jet thrust is always being pro- duced while the engines are running. The direction of the boat is controlled by the shift gates, which direct the flow of the jet thrust as follows:NeutralThe shift gates are dropped down part way over the jet thrust nozzles. The neutral posi- tion balances forward and reverse thrust to help keep the boat from moving, although some movement may occur.1 21 2F2 N1 R 55347667 881 Neutral position2 TDE position3 Forward position4 Reverse position5 Shift6 Fully closed7 Throttle8 Fully openTIP:This boat is equipped with a “start-in-gear” protection.

This function, which is called the thrust direc- tional enhancer (TDE), helps to provide good handling response when the steering wheel is turned, even though there is less thrust avail- able at low engine speeds.40]]></page><page Index="49" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Control function operationN F1R11 TDE positionWhen the remote control levers are moved farther forward, the shift gates are lifted all the way up. All jet thrust is to the rear, which moves the boat forward.1 Shift gateSteeringYour boat can be steered by turning the steer- ing wheel the same direction you wish to trav- el, to the right or left. When the steering wheel is turned, the angle of the jet thrust nozzles at the rear of the craft is changed, and the change in direction of the jet thrust nozzles changes the direction of the boat accordingly. In addition, the direction of the articulating keel changes according to the movement of the jet thrust nozzles.121211 Shift gate2 Jet thrust nozzleReverseThe shift gates are dropped all the way down over the jet thrust nozzles. Jet thrust is redi- rected toward the bow of the boat, which moves the boat backward.1 Steering wheel41]]></page><page Index="50" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Control function operation12111 Jet thrust nozzle2 Articulating keelSince the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle must always be opened above idle when at- tempting a turn, except at trolling speed. Because boats steer from the stern, the stern of the boat swings out in the opposite direction of your turn. If you turn to starboard, for exam- ple, the stern of the boat will swing to the left.

When the no-wake mode is activat- ed, “NO WAKE” will be displayed under“MPH” or “KM/h” for the boat speed.● Push the remote control levers forward to open the throttle.Operating the boat in reverse with more thrust (reverse RPM control) Engine speed in reverse is limited to approxi- mately 4500 rpm. If more thrust is required when the boat is traveling in reverse, use the reverse RPM control. WARNING! Be pre- pared to reduce throttle as soon as the boat moves as desired. Otherwise, the boat may become unstable, which could result in loss of control and an accident.T o activate the reverse RPM control:(1) Move the remote control levers backward so that the throttle is opened in reverse and both engines are operating at thesame engine speed.(2) Increase the engine speed to 4500 rpm,and then push the “CRUISE/NO WAKE”(+) button.TIP:Once the reverse RPM control is activated, pushing the “CRUISE/NO WAKE” (+) button will increase the available engine speed by approximately 500 rpm in 3 stages up to a maximum of 6000 rpm, and pushing the “CRUISE/NO WAKE” (–) button will decrease the available engine speed. However, the ad- justment is limited to these 3 increments.To deactivate the reverse RPM control: Operate the remote control levers to decrease the engine speed to less than 4500 rpm.SYS12.3 VFUEL 25 %02:18 PM 360W NW N NE ELAT 00˚00’00”N LONG 00˚00’00”E ELEV 0 FT1300 5BILGE BLWRAUX13.2 VDEPTH 22 ftRPMMPHNo WakeNavAnc CTY LT1RPM1300BALL1 “NO WAKE”TIP:The no-wake mode can be set to 3 engine speeds.

If this occurs, immedi- ately reduce the engine speed, return to shore or maneuver to a safe location, and check for water discharge at the cooling water pilot out- lets. There are cooling water pilot outlets on the starboard side of the hull. Check that wa- ter comes out of the outlets while the engines are running, particularly while applying throt- tle. If you do not see any water at the outlets, cooling water may not be circulating in the en- gines.12If the oil pressure does not rise to specifica- tion, a warning will appear on the multi-func- tion display and the buzzer will sound. If a fault is detected for the port engine, “Port Low Oil Pressure” will be displayed and if a fault is detected for the starboard engine, “Stbd Low Oil Pressure” will be displayed. At the same time, the engine speed is automatically limited to help prevent damage. If this occurs, reduce the engine speed, return to shore or maneu- ver to a safe location, and check the engine oil level. (See page 118 for engine oil level checking procedures.)If the oil level is low, add enough engine oil to raise it to the proper level. If the oil level is suf- ficient, have a Yamaha Boat Dealer check the engine.Over temperature warningThis model is equipped with an over tempera- ture warning system. If the engines start to overheat, a warning will appear on the multi- function display and the buzzer will sound.

E-85 is a fuel blend containing 85% ethanol and there- fore must not be used in this boat. All ethanol blends containing more than 10% ethanol can cause fuel system damage or engine perfor- mance problems.Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con- taining methanol because it can cause fuel system damage and engine performance problems.T o fill the fuel tank:(1) Before refueling, turn off the engines.Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or oth- er sources of ignition.(2) Refuel the boat in a well-ventilated area. If the boat is in the water, be sure it is se- curely moored to the fueling dock. All passengers must be out of the boat dur- ing refueling.(3) Press the fuel tank filler cap button, and then open the fuel tank filler cap.WARNING● Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex- tremely flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and to reduce the risk of in- jury when refueling, follow these in- structions.● Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in- jury or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you should swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gaso- line in your eyes, see your doctor imme- diately. If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with soap and water. If gasoline spills on your clothing, change your clothes.NOTICE● Donotuseleadedgasoline.Leadedgas- oline can seriously damage the engines.● Avoidgettingwaterandcontaminantsin the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can cause poor performance and engine damage. Use only fresh gasoline thathas been stored in clean containers.1 2Recommended fuel:Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86 (Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2 90 (Research octane number)GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gasohol con- taining ethanol and that containing methanol.

Do not “top off” the tank, because gasoline could spill out.(6) Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.(7) Close the fuel tank filler cap by pushing it until it locks in place. Make sure that thefuel tank filler cap is securely closed.Engine Med RX Fuel AdditiveAs the fuel mixture burns in your engine’s combustion chambers, carbon deposits are left behind. Over time, these deposits can re- duce performance and even cause engine damage. Marine engines tend to run at lower operating temperatures than other engines, making them more likely to accumulate these harmful deposits. Engine Med RX, available from your Yamaha Boat Dealer, is formulated to remove existing deposits and, when used continuously, prevent new ones from forming, while also helping to keep fuel injectors and other fuel system components clean for prop- er performance and longer engine life.Engine oil requirement Engine oilNOTICEUse only 4-stroke engine oil. Usage of 2- stroke engine oil could result in severe en- gine damage.Select an oil grade according to the average temperatures in the area where the boat will be used.Recommended engine oil: YAMALUBE 4WRecommended engine oil type:SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, 20W-40, 20W- 50Recommended engine oil grade (3-star models):API SG, SH, SJ, SL Recommended engine oil grade (4-star models):API SJ, SL1163-star models]]></page><page Index="125" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Operation and handling requirements4-star modelsTIP:When the engine is operated at high speeds, some engine oil may be consumed.

Take the time to learn the basic techniques well be- fore attempting more difficult maneuvers. Boating with your new boat can be a very en- joyable activity, providing you with hours of pleasure. But it is essential to familiarize your- self with the operation of the boat to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy boating safely. Before operating this boat, read this own- er’s/operator’s manual, the Operation Instruc- tion card, and all labels on the boat. Pay particular attention to the safety information beginning on page 14. Also, watch the Basic Orientation Video provided with your boat. These materials should give you an under- standing of the boat and its operation. This boat is designed to carry one operator and up to 9 passengers.Learning to operate your boatBefore boating, always perform the pre-oper- ation checks listed on page 124. The short time spent checking the boat will reward you with added safety and reliability.Know and follow U.S. Coast Guard, state, and local laws when operating your boat.Select a wide area to learn in, where visibility is good and other boat traffic is light. Keep the proper distance from other boats and vehi- cles. Do not operate where people are swim- ming.Always attach the engine shut-off cord (lan- yard) to your PFD before operating.You and all other passengers must always wear a USCG-approved PFD when riding in the boat. You should consider wearing water shoes, eye protection, and other protective apparel. Water sports increase your risk of in- jury from contact with your boat, other ves- sels, docks, rocks, or coral.Grip the steering wheel firmly and keep both feet on the deck when driving the boat.Starting the enginesSevere injury or death may result if you ig- nore any of the following:● Before operating your boat, become fa-miliar with all controls.

Before starting the engines, check the engine compartment for gasoline, gasoline va- pors, and loose electrical connections, and then operate the blowers for at least 4 minutes. Do not start the engines or operate the blowers if you can smell gasoline vapors in the engine compart- ment or if there are any loose electrical connections. Contact a Yamaha Boat Dealer if there is a problem you cannot locate or correct.● Attachtheengineshut-offcord(lanyard) to your PFD before operating. Failure to attach the cord could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.● Do not apply throttle when anyone is at the rear of the boat. Turn the engines off or keep them at idle. Water and debris exiting the jet thrust nozzles can cause severe injury.(1) Always make sure the boat is launched and used in waters that are free from weeds and debris, and at least 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat. WARNING! Never operate in water that is less than 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat. You increase your chance of hitting an underwater ob- stacle. You could be injured. Pebbles or sand can also be sucked into the jet intakes, damaging the impellers.NOTICEThere is a hull drain plug at the bottom of the stern. Check the O-ring on the hull drain plug and make sure that the plug is tightened securely before launching the boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat and cause it to submerge.90 cm (3 ft)11 Hull drain plug(2) Turn the battery switch to the ON (green) position.(3) AR210 / SX210: Push the blower switch to operate the blowers and ventilate the engine compartment for at least 4 min- utes.139]]></page><page Index="148" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Operation1BLOWERBLOWER11 Blower switch(4) 212X / 212 Limited S / 212 Limited: Tap the “ Blower ” button to operate the blow- ers and ventilate the engine compart- ment for at least 4 minutes.1 Blower switch(5) Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to your PFD.

It is especially important to under- stand this characteristic when leaving a dock. If you move the remote control levers to the forward position and simply turn the steering wheel to steer the bow away from the dock, as you would when driving a car out of a parking space, you will drive the stern of the boat into the dock.The following steps are basic maneuvering techniques which can be used in most circum- stances:(1) With the engines idling and the bow stillmoored to the dock, turn the steering wheel toward the dock. Moving the re- mote control levers into the TDE position or forward position will start to move the stern of the boat away from the dock.(2) Whenthesternisoutafewfeet,release the bow mooring, and then turn the steer- ing wheel to the center position or away from the dock. Move the remote control levers into the reverse position and move away from the dock.Turning the boat● Do not pull the remote control levers back to idle when trying to steer away from objects — you need throttle to steer.● Be sure passengers are holding on be- fore making turns. An unprepared pas- senger could lose balance and fall.Steering control depends on the combination of steering wheel position and the amount of throttle.Water sucked in through the intake grates is pressurized by the impellers in the jet pumps. As the pressurized water is expelled from the pumps through the jet thrust nozzles, it cre- ates thrust to move and steer the boat. The higher the engine speed, the more thrust is produced.The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the po- sition of the steering wheel, determines how sharply you turn.A. More throttle produces high thrust, so theboat will turn more sharply.AB. Less throttle produces low thrust, so the boat will turn more gradually.BWARNING142]]></page><page Index="151" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[C. Pulling the remote control levers back to idle or the neutral position produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rap- idly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after pulling the re- mote control levers back to idle, but when the engines slow down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed.At trolling speed, the boat can be turned gradually by steering wheel position alone using just the amount of thrust available at engine idle.OperationD. If the boat is moving and the remote con- trol levers are in the neutral position, or if there is no thrust because the engines are stopped, the boat will go straight even though the steering wheel is turned. You need throttle to steer.DCTurning leftTurning right143]]></page><page Index="152" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OperationBoating with passengersWhen passengers are on board, make sure they are seated and holding onto the handgrips, handrails, or straps before you start to accelerate. An unprepared passen- ger could lose balance and fall.Your boat is designed for one operator and up to 9 passengers only. Never have more than 10 people in the boat. Passengers must sit in one of the seats and hold onto the handgrips. Passengers should sit so the weight in the boat is balanced from side-to-side and bow- to-stern as much as possible. If the passenger seat in front of the helm is used, be sure the operator’s view ahead is not obstructed.Stopping the boat● Allow adequate stopping distance.● Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-member, boats do not have brakes.● Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other boats to give you timeto stop.● Do not shut the engines off when slow-ing down in case you need engine power to steer away from a boat or other obsta- cle that comes into your path.● You will lose steering control if you completely pull the remote control le- vers back to idle. You need throttle to steer.● Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the boat from planing speed as it could cause you to lose con- trol, be ejected, or impact the steering wheel or other parts of the boat. This could increase the risk of serious injury.The boat is not equipped with a separate braking system. It is stopped by water resis- tance after the remote control levers are moved back to idle. From full speed, the boat stops in approximately 105 m (344 ft) for the AR210 / SX210 or 140 m (459 ft) for the 212X / 212 Limited S / 212 Limited after the remote control levers are moved back to idle. The stopping distance varies depending on gross weight, water surface conditions, and wind direction. The stated straight-line stop- ping distance should be used for a reference. The boat slows down as soon as the remote control levers are returned to idle but will coast for a distance before fully stopping.

Always stop the engines be- fore beaching the boat. Be sure the boat is in water 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bot- tom of the boat before starting the en- gines again.● Do not beach the boat on rocky beach- es. The hull gelcoat and exposed pump housings can be damaged.● Payattentiontoshiftsintides.Beaching at high tide may make it impossible to re-launch the boat if the tide recedes.(1) Make sure no obstructions, boats, or swimmers are near the beach.(2) Approach the beach slowly and stop the engines when the water is about 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat. Remember: turning is impossible with the engines stopped.(3) Get out of the boat and pull the bow up on the beach.(4) When leaving the beach, push the boat out into water that is at least 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat before starting the engines.AnchoringWARNINGAlways anchor from the bow. Anchoring from the stern will make the boat un- steady. A strong current can pull a stern- anchored boat underwater.Select an anchor appropriate for your boat and water conditions. A “Danforth” (or fluke) type anchor is suitable for most applications; your Yamaha Boat Dealer can help you choose an anchor.(1) Makesuretheanchorlineissecurelytied to the anchor and to the bow eye or a bow cleat.(2) Movetheboattothespotwhereyouwant to lower the anchor, heading the boat into the wind or current. Stop the boat, and then lower the anchor until it hits bottom.(3) While keeping tension on the line, slowly back up the boat until you have let out line that is 4–6 times the depth of the water. For example, if you are anchoring in 10 feet of water, let out 40–60 feet of line. Secure the line.(4) Pull on the line to be sure the anchor is holding. Also, periodically check your boat’s position against the shoreline to make sure it is not drifting and dragging the anchor. Reset if necessary.(5) To pull in (“weigh”) the anchor, start the engines and move forward, keeping ten- sion on the line as you pull it in. When the anchor line is straight up and down, pull hard to lift the anchor from the bottom material.147]]></page><page Index="156" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Operation(6) If the anchor is stuck on the bottom, try this: Let out a few feet of anchor line and secure the line to the boat, again. Slowly maneuver the boat around the anchor until the anchor pulls loose. Keep the line taut during this procedure.Crossing wakes and swellsYou will not always have flat, smooth water. There will be swells and wakes from other boats, etc.The best way to cross wakes and swells is with the least jolt to you and the boat. Small swells are not as difficult to cross as larger swells or wakes. Crossing a sharp wake gives more of a jolt than a broad swell.To cross a wake or swell, change your speed and choose the angle at which you cross the wake or swell. Usually, a slower speed and “quartering” the wake (crossing at an angle) will reduce the jolt.Two other things you may notice. The first is that crossing a group of wakes or swells is not as easy or smooth as crossing just one wake. The second is that when you quarter the wake or swell, the boat will try to steer away from the wake or swell. When crossing at a 45° an- gle, you may not notice this, but at a smaller angle, say 10°, it can be very strong. Be pre- pared to steer and balance as necessary.Wake90˚45˚10˚Sharp wakesBroad swell148]]></page><page Index="157" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Post-operation checksThese post-operation procedures are devel- oped to help preserve the long-term appear- ance and reliability of your boat. Perform these procedures as soon as possible after the boat is loaded back on the trailer after the day’s use.Some owners prefer to moor their boat sea- sonally, rather than keeping it on the trailer between uses. Extended mooring is not recommended. Proper flushing of the cool- ing system on each engine is not possible with the boat in the water. In addition, condi- tions such as stray electrical voltage in the water, marine organisms, and saltwater corro- sion can adversely affect the life of many boat components. NOTICE: Leaving the boat in the water for extended periods will accel- erate the rate of normal deterioration of the jet pump components, sacrificial an- odes, hull finish and other components.If you do decide to moor your boat, be sure to remove it from the water periodically to clean the hull and jet pump areas. The frequency of maintenance required will depend upon whether the water is salt water or fresh water and other local water conditions.(1) After putting the boat on the trailer, flush the cooling system on each engine to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. Refer to page 155 for the cooling system flushing pro- cedure.(2) Drain residual water from the exhaust system by starting the engine, and then alternately pushing the remote control le- ver up to half throttle and back to idle for 10 to 15 seconds. NOTICE: Do not run the engine over 4000 r/min on land. Al- so, do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds without supplyingOperationwater, otherwise, the engine couldoverheat and/or seize.(3) Stoptheengine.(4) Wash down the hull, helm, and both jetdrive units with fresh water.(5) Opentherearplatformhatch.(Seepage98 for rear platform hatch opening andclosing procedures.)(6) Remove the access port caps to let anywater drain that has pooled on them. (See page 178 for access port cap re- moval and installation procedures.) If the boat will be stored on the trailer nearby, leave the caps out until you prepare to launch the boat again. If the boat will be transported on the trailer any distance, temporarily reinstall the caps and close the hatch until you get home. Open the hatch again when you arrive and remove the caps as before. Leave the caps loose until you plan to transport the boat on the trailer again. NOTICE: Leaving the ac- cess port caps out when you are not using or transporting the boat helps keep them from becoming stuck in the access ports.(7) Remove the hull drain plug, the engine compartment drain plug, and the fuel tank compartment drain plug. (See page 120.)(8) Rinse the engine compartment with a small amount of fresh water. Be careful not to get water on the air filter area or electrical components. Allow any water in the bilge to drain out. After the water has drained, wipe the engine compartment and bilge with dry rags.(9) Reinstallalldrainplugs.NOTICE:Tight- en the hull drain plug securely before launching the boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat and cause it to sub- merge. Clean any foreign material,149]]></page><page Index="158" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Operationsuch as dirt or sand, from the threads and the O-ring on the hull drain plug before installing the drain plug.(10)Spray a rust inhibitor, such as Yamaha Silicone Protectant and Lubricant, on me- tallic parts to minimize corrosion.(11) Use the included boat cover, or store the boat in a building or under a canopy or carport in order to prevent rain from fall- ing onto the boat. Because all of the wa- ter will not be drained from the deck automatically, take sufficient measures to prevent rainwater from entering the boat. NOTICE: Make sure that the turnbuck- les on the boat cover do not contact the boat directly when using the cov- er. Otherwise, the boat could be dam- aged.(12) Turn the battery switch in the rear under- seat storage compartment (port) to the OFF (red) position. (See page 37 and 38 for more information.)150]]></page><page Index="159" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Trailering the boatAvoid accident and injury from improper trailering:● The trailer must be matched for theboat’s weight and hull.● The towing vehicle must have the capac-ity of pulling the load. Pulling a load that exceeds the towing capacity may cause loss of control.● Be sure the boat is secured to the trailer and the trailer is properly hitched to the towing vehicle before towing.● Read the manuals supplied with the trailer by the manufacture.A trailer is provided as standard equipment with your boat. If you need to obtain another trailer, choose one that is manufactured to carry a boat of the size and weight of your boat. Check the certification label on the left forward side of the trailer. This label is re- quired to show the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing (GVWR), which is the load carrying capacity of the trailer plus the trailer’s weight. Be sure that the total weight of your boat, any cargo, and the trailer weight itself does not ex- ceed the GVWR.HitchThe trailer hitch ball must match the size of the socket on the trailer hitch coupler. Hitches are divided into classes that specify the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and the maximum tongue weight. Always use a hitch rated for the same or higher class. Use a bolted-on or welded-on hitch; clamp-on bumper hitches are not recommended. Be sure the trailer hitch’s release handle is latched with the lock pin installed before towing.TraileringUse safety chains between the towing vehicle and the trailer so the trailer will not detach completely from the towing vehicle if it acci- dentally comes loose from the hitch ball. Crisscross the chains under the trailer tongue so the tongue will not hit the road surface if it falls loose. Rig the chains as tightly as possi- ble while allowing just enough slack to permit tight turns.Be sure the tongue weight (vertical weight on the hitch point) is correct. Generally, 5% to 10% of the combined weight of the boat and trailer should be on the tongue. Too much or too little weight can cause difficult steering or trailer swaying.Trailering checklist● Checkyourstatelawstobesureyourtrailer meets all regulations, such as proper li- censing, brake, axle load, and safety chain requirements.● Check the trailer for any loose fasteners or damaged parts.● Checkthetiresforproperinflation.● Check the wheel bearings and wheel lugnuts before each trip.● Checkthetail,brake,andturnsignallightsfor proper operation.WARNING151]]></page><page Index="160" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Trailering●Secure the bow of the boat to the trailer with the winch line and also with the chain. Se- cure the stern eyes to the trailer with tie- downs.● Be sure any cargo that must be carried in the boat as well as the folding windshield and all hatches are secured. A durable, properly fitting cover, such as the genuine Yamaha cover available from your Yamaha Boat Dealer designed specifically for your boat, is highly recommended to help protect your boat during transport and storage.● Carry a spare tire for the trailer, along with sufficient tools to change the tire.● While traveling, check the wheel hubs on the trailer whenever you park. If a hub feels abnormally hot, have the bearing inspected before continuing your trip. On longer trips, it is a good idea to carry a set of spare wheel bearings, seals, and races.● When making a turn, do not cut corners. The trailer has a smaller turning circle, so it turns more sharply around the corner than the towing vehicle.Backing your trailerIt takes practice to back a trailer successfully. If you are not familiar backing up with a trailer, practice first in an open area away from ob- stacles.1Bow eyeTIP:During transport, use a boat cover to prevent any items from blowing out of the boat, or make sure to store any items inside the stor- age compartments and securely close the compartments.● Be sure the access port caps are properly installed (see page 178 for more informa- tion) and the rear platform hatch is closed securely.Keep the following points in mind when backing up● Back slowly. Make steering adjustments insmall steps.1521111●Stern eyeTakedownandstorethebiminitop,ifused. The bimini top is not designed to stay unse- cured on the boat at highway speeds.

(6) Back the trailer farther into the water until just the tops of the fenders show, and then reset the parking brake. Board the boat and start it. If possible, remain on the trailer until the engines are warm and areresponding to throttle.(7) Back the boat out into the water, watch-ing carefully for people, other boats, or obstacles.As a courtesy to other boaters, prepare yourboat for launching before using the ramp.Each launch may have particular differences,such as ramp angle, prevailing wind, waves, Loadingand water currents. If possible, watch a cou- ple of boaters launch their boats first to notice any problems. While every boater develops a preferred launch procedure, here is a recom- mended general procedure:(1) Disconnect the trailer lights from the tow- ing vehicle.(2) Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If pos- sible, have a second person act as an ob- server while standing to the side of the trailer. Stop when the tops of the trailer’s fenders are about 3 inches above the wa- terline.(3) With the boat moving at the slowest idle speed, guide the boat onto the support rails. Use throttle only if necessary for steering ability. WARNING! Using too much throttle can cause the boat to jump over the front of the trailer, which can result in injury to the boat operator and bystanders.(4) Make sure the boat is centered on the support rails and is headed straight for the bow stop (bumper board). Ease the boat forward until the bow rests against the bow stop. NOTICE: The winch line is not designed to pull the boat onto the trailer.(5) Attach and tighten the winch line.NOTICE: The winch line should not be the only line securing the bow during trailering. Use the chain along with the winch to secure the boat to the trailer.(1) Performthepre-operationchecksshown on page 124 that can be performed on land.(2) Remove all trailering tie-down lines from the boat and attach your docking lines and fenders, if used.(3) Disconnectthetrailerlightsfromthetow- ing vehicle.(4) Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If pos- sible, have a second person stand aside as an observer. Stop when the wheels are at least halfway submerged. Set the parking brake.153]]></page><page Index="162" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Trailering1 Bow eye(6) Pullthetraileruptherampoutoftheway of other boaters. Attach the bow and stern tie-downs.

NOTICE: Be careful not to get water on the air filter area or electrical components. Do not use high-pressure water when rinsing the engine or engine compart- ment as severe engine damage could result.(5) Open the rear platform hatch. (See page 98 for rear platform hatch opening and closing procedures.)(6) Remove the access port caps to let any water drain that has pooled on them. (See page 178 for access port cap re- moval and installation procedures.) If the boat will be stored on the trailer nearby, leave the caps out until you prepare to launch the boat again. If the boat will be transported on the trailer any distance, temporarily reinstall the caps and close the hatch until you get home. Open the hatch again when you arrive and remove the caps as before. Leave the caps loose until you plan to transport the boat on the trailer again. NOTICE: Leaving the ac- cess port caps out when you are not using or transporting the boat helps keep them from becoming stuck in theCare and storageaccess ports. (See page 178 for moreinformation.)(7) Securely install the hull drain plug by tightening it until it stops. NOTICE: Be- fore installing the hull drain plug, clean the drain plug threads and O-ring to remove any foreign materi- als, such as dirt or sand. Otherwise, the hull drain plug could be damaged, allowing water to enter the hull. Check the O-ring on the hull drain plug and make sure that the hull drain plug is tightened securely before launching the boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat and cause it to submerge.(8) Spray the exterior of the engines with Yamalube Silicone Protectant & Lubri- cant, or an equivalent. For areas requir- ing heavy protection, use YamashieldTM.(9) Wax the hull with Yamaclean Spray Wax® or other non-abrasive wax de- signed for marine gelcoat. WARNING! Slippery surfaces can cause falls and injury. Be careful not to apply too much wax on deck and gunwale step- ping surfaces. This will make them slippery.(10) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components, such as the seats and engine compart- ment seals, with Yamaclean Vinyl Dress- ingTM or other quality vinyl protectant. NOTICE: Some well-known “protec- tant” products on the market can actu- ally damage vinyl over time.

It is advisable to have the boat serviced by an authorized Yamaha Boat Dealer before storage. However, the following procedures can be performed by the owner with a mini- mum of tools.Fuel systemFill the fuel tank with fresh fuel, adding one ounce of Fuel Med RX, available from your Yamaha Boat Dealer, to each gallon of fuel or use an equivalent according to the manufac- ture’s instructions. (See page 115 for informa- tion on filling the fuel tank.) Do not “top off” the tank, because fuel could spill. A full fuel tank is less likely to allow condensation to collect in the tank, reducing the chance of contaminat- ed fuel. Running the engines with treated fuel during cooling system flushing will also help protect the fuel system.TIP:Use of Fuel Med RX eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha Boat Dealer or other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is to be drained instead.LubricationIt is advisable to take the boat to a Yamaha Boat Dealer to have the engines fogged for long-term storage.Grease pointsTo keep moving parts sliding or rotating smoothly, coat them with water-resistant grease.Recommended water-resistant grease: YAMALUBE MARINE GREASE or Yamaha Grease A● Throttle cablesGrease the throttle-cable inner wires at the pulley wheel of each APS.AR210 / SX210Care and storage212X / 212 Limited S / 212 Limited● Steering cable ball joints and inner wires Grease the steering cable and shift cable ball joints at the jet thrust nozzles.

Be careful when reaching into jet pump ar- eas.If weeds or debris get caught in the intakes or impellers, cavitation can occur, and though the engine speed rises, forward thrust will de- crease. If this condition is allowed to continue, jet pump damage can occur and the engines may overheat and seize. If there is any sign that a jet intake or impeller is clogged with weeds or debris, follow this clean-out proce- dure.(1) Turn off and remove the main switch key, remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch, and wait for all movement to stop.(2) Opentherearplatformhatch.(Seepage 98.)(3) Checkthattheretainingcordissecurely attached to the access port cap and strap eye.1 2(4)Retaining cord Strap eyeWhile holding the handle and pushing down, turn the access port cap counter- clockwise until the “SET” mark is aligned with the slot, and then lift the cap by the handle.11 22WARNINGNOTICE● Donotliftorpullthecapwiththeretain- ing cord.● Set the cap where it cannot be acciden- tally knocked overboard.1217812 Slot“SET” mark]]></page><page Index="187" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Trouble recovery13121 Access port cap(5) Remove any weeds or debris from the drive shaft, impeller, pump housing, and jet thrust nozzle.

Operate at a no-wake speed to prevent water from flooding the non-operating engine through the water intake. The no-wake mode can be used for this purpose. (See page 50, 82.)Towing the boatWARNING● The operator of the towing boat must keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf- fic or obstacles which could be a hazard to either boat.● The towing line should be long enough so the towed boat will not collide with the towing boat when slowing down.The boat should be towed only if it becomes inoperative.The towing rope should be long enough so that the boat will not collide with the towing boat when slowing down. A good rule of thumb is a tow rope which is three times the combined length of the towing boat and the boat.Tow the boat using the bow eye only. Tow the boat at a no-wake speed. NOTICE: Do not tow the boat at speed fast enough to leave a wake (8 km/h, 5 mph). Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the non-operating engines through the water intakes.11841 Bow eye]]></page><page Index="193" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Consumer information Limited warrantyYAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A.
